The Motherhood Manifesto Film

MomsRising is a great organization which "has a goal of championing core motherhood and family issues in political, social, and economic spheres" particularly here in the United States, which is a country which only values mothers and families nominally, but not in its policies and work environemnt.

They have published The Motherhood Manifesto (which is available at Amazon for only 2.99) and now they have produced a great documentary film version.

"Did you know [that] only four countries in the world—Lesotho, Swaziland, Papua New Guinea and the United States fail to provide paid maternity leave to all workers?" This and other facts are presented in this one hour film.

You can buy the film here. It costs only 6 dollars for shipping and DVD pressing.

You can also watch more clips of funny animation containted in the film here.

I'm glad I signed a petition to stop discrimination against mothers here in Pennsylvania (you can sign even if you don't live here) in the site and became a registered user, that's how I received an email announcing this film. You can register there too. It's a great way to participate in activistm on behalf or mothers and children in the U.S.
